Chapter 97
Late at night...
Ryosaku suddenly wakes up, feeling the need to urinate, to find Lisa sleeping with her body half-embracing him, breathing softly and sweetly in her sleep.
(This is a bit of a problem, Lisa-chan... you're such a clingy girl.)
Ryosaku gently undid Lisa's right arm, which had been wrapped around his body, so as not to wake her up, and gently stroked her hair.
...Then, when he returned from the bathroom, he heard someone muttering to himself in the room.
He cautiously put his ear to the door and listened for any voices coming from inside...and it seemed like Lisa was talking in her sleep.
Ryosaku quietly entered the room and heard Lisa turning over in her sleep and calling his name.
"Hmmm... Ryo-chan... Ryo...chan..."
Ryosaku thought that he shouldn't wake her up now and disturb Lisa's sleep.
Like him, Lisa also has a ''workplace'' called school tomorrow.
If he were to wake her up and start chatting with her, it could affect both of their "work" during the day.
Ryosaku then watched Lisa for a while, planning to go to bed with her again once her sleep-talking had calmed down.
"Mmmmm, Ryo-chan. Ryo-chan... you smell nice. But, Ryo-chan... I can smell Mieko-chan... Mieko-chan..."
Ryosaku was surprised.
He never expected that Lisa would mention Mieko's name in her sleep.
(Lisa-chan... "Mieko-chan's smell"...? No, that's impossible...!)
As if he had just remembered something, Ryosaku hastily put his nose close to Lisa's body.
...To Ryosaku's surprise, Lisa gave off a refreshing, clean scent, like fresh greenery!
Until now, Ryosaku had been told by Mieko and Rika that the smell like "fresh greenery" was coming from his body.
Rika even opined that the reason Ryosaku didn't notice the "fragrance" coming from Lisa's body was because Lisa and Ryosaku had the exact same scent.
In her sleep talking earlier, Lisa mentioned Mieko's "fragrance"...
And the fact that Ryosaku noticed Lisa's "fragrance" means...!
"No, no! Mieko-chan, go away! Get away from Ryo-chan, please..."
Suddenly, Lisa began to twist and turn violently in her sleep.
"...Lisa-chan! Lisa-chan, what's wrong? Are you okay...?!"
Ryosaku could no longer bear to watch Lisa in silence, so he shook her vigorously and rubbed her back repeatedly.
"Ryo-chan... Good morning. What's wrong...?"
"It's not a matter of what's wrong. Lisa-chan... You were having a really bad nightmare. You were drenched in sweat while sleeping..."
"What time is it now... Ryo-chan?"
"It's still three in the morning... Lisa-chan, you need to get changed. You'll catch a cold if you keep going like this..."
"Oh, you're right... I'll bring some clothes to change into. Once I get them, I'll get changed here... Ryo-chan, help me, okay?"
"Okay, okay. I'll help you or whatever, so let's get changed. Just hurry up and bring your new underwear and pajamas over here."
"Okay... Then I'll get naked here again. Ryo-chan, are you going to touch my boobs again...?"
"Oh, never mind that. Are you really going to catch a cold?"
"Oh, yes! Then I'll bring it. Wait a moment."
With that, Lisa gave Ryosaku a light kiss on the lips and went to the closet in her room to get a change of clothes.
(Now that I think about it, it's been a while since I last kissed Lisa-chan... Come to think of it, my "first kiss" wasn't with Mieko-chan, it was with Lisa-chan...)
